Biography:
Frog Eyes is an indie rock band from Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), The quartet is led by singer/guitarist Carey Mercer and is known for their highly idiosyncratic songs, which pit Mercer's unhinged, melodic vocals against a swirling mass of guitar, keyboards, and drums. Drummer Melanie Campbell (also Mercer's wife) notably uses a 'found object' as part of her drums set, the so-called "dinger." This object was only used on their first three albums and has since been disposed of in favour of a normal ride cymbal.

[Intro]
Em
Em Bm x4
[Verse 1]
Am G
And the loneliest man shall look to his left
Am D
Know that his brother holds two buttons left
Am Em
And smiles to himself, for his shirt still holds three
C D
Buttons on a finely sewn sleeve
[Verse 2]
Am G
And the tea that I drink is tepid, not warm
Am D
And the holes in my tent shall reveal some fine storm
Am Em
And the tent next to me is a sheet tied to a tree
C D
Come on sweet brother, and crawl in with me
[Instrumental]
Em Bm x4
[Verse 3]
Am G
And he crawled in and slept, almost immediately he slept
Am D
Placed to the bonding wraiths, I couldn't have handled it if he had wept
Am Em
In the morning seems calm, and we go our separate ways
C D
Carrying the mark of a snake to the end of our days
[Bridge]
F D
Whoa the world is a round clump of ice
F D
Floating through space like a ram on a clump of ice
[Chorus]
C D
Come on sweet brother, and dance with the shadow
C D
Come on sweet brother, and dance with the shadow
C D
Come on sweet brother, and dance with the shadow
[Outro]
